Summer Programs that are prestigious, leadership-driven, and look good on resumes.

Hi guys,

I am international, from Canada. I was looking and thinking of any good leadership summer programs that help advance your resume.
I am looking into the following areas of study (which is pretty broad but oh well)
-Business
-Law
-Medicine

My friend’s, friend’s brother went to this great program a couple years ago called Junior Team Canada Trade and thought it was really excellent and really proved his skills. (he went on the China trip in I think 2006?) Any other international, prestigious, selective programs like that?

Have you thought about how you can be a leader in your local community?

I did, but I would just feel better about college applications (in about 2 years now!) if I had something on my resume that was internationally based and everything I talked about above.

I work in law and during the summer we always bring in a high school intern - a friend of mine works in private equity and that company does the same. This is not really a prestigious, international program but it will get you experience in a field you are interested in and provide you with a networking opportunity. If that interests you, try contacting law firms, private equity firms, venture capital firms, medical offices, etc. in your area and see if they do something similar.
